Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)
I suppose it was inevitable. At some point, there was going to be a misfire in Marvel Studios’ Phase Three. Just as it wraps up, here it is: Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado (2018)
When I first heard about a sequel to Sicario – one of my favourite films of 2015 – my first thought was ‘why does this need to exist?’ Having seen the film, I don’t have a satisfactory answer to that question.
Deadpool 2 Is Nowhere Near as Funny as it Thinks it is
By all rights, Deadpool 2 should have been a vast improvement on the first film. It’s not.
Loving Vincent (2017)
I’m a sucker for a good gimmick. And what better gimmick for a film about Vincent van Gogh than to hand paint every damn frame?
Tomb Raider (2018)
Alicia Vikander’s interpretation of Lara Croft is incredible; she deserved a better movie.
Geek Girls (2017)
Documentaries benefit from specificity. That’s never been clearer than in Geek Girls, a likeable doco on – you guessed it – geek girls of all stripes.
Winchester (2018)
Executed with the Spierigs’ trademark cheap competence (these boys really pump them out), there’s nothing to distinguish Winchester from its haunted house forebears.
Heather Graham Examines Female Insecurity in Her Directorial Debut Half Magic
Written and directed by star Heather Graham, Half Magic avoids familiar clichés for a more thoughtful examination of workplace inequality and women’s insecurities.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
Jumanji’s fictional, fantastical setting lets the film really spread its wings in terms of silly action. It just needed to be funnier.
Breathe (2017)
It’s no huge surprise that Andy Serkis’ directorial debut would be such a transparent pitch for awards recognition.
